Pakistan downed all this Soviet jets because the Soviet policy was to do nothing against Pak, coz USSR was on war against Afghanistan, not against Pak.

Pak rendered its usual services for its lord, the USA, ally and master during the Cold War in order to difficults the Soviet mission, but the Soviets didn't want to involve themselves with Pakistan for this could expand the scale of war and to rise tensions with USA. Soviet pilots reported that were being attacked by Paki jets, but the Moscow's order was to retreat or even to leave be attacked.

Do you are sure the jihadis Pak pilots were better than kafirs Soviets???

If the Soviets had wanted, they crushed PAF and the ratio would be inverse: 10:0 in favor USSR.

The DRA and the Soviets carried out many raids deep south of the Durand Line. The Soviets had a major garrison in Jalalabad, and they routinely strafed NWFP and the border regions. Afghan commandos also carried out sabotage missions deep within Pakistan. Khost was out of control, but before the Soviets withdrew, they took complete control of it.

Its known as 4 trillion dollars of war investment with no end in sight. Americans have been defeated, they may win battles and have control of the skies but can't win the war. In the end what matters is who won and HOW becomes irrelevant.
